Having watched joyces performance over many years all I can think is "how dumb are the people of New England?"

in fitting with Greens hypocrisy did not Windsor sell his farm to coal seemers? Oh thats right another gw alarmist who holds to the fraudulent faith.

SM,

You also conveniently overlook Greg Hunt's decision to allow Shenhua to build its dirty great coal mine on the Liverpool plains in New England.

Constituents were and are furious with Joyce - the minister for water, agriculture - for not doing more to oppose such a likely decimation of prime farming land.

What a weak-kneed joke Joyce has become over that issue.

runner,

Windsor sold it because the miners were going to mine his land regardless. Land owners have no power to stop resource companies from ravaging their land.

A minor technicality to your narrative, but there you go.

I hope Windsor beats Joyce in New England, but I doubt he will have the numbers now.
Then again, if Hasbeen doesn't like Windsor, then maybe he has more chance than I think :)

I like Windsor because he saw right through the dictatorial Tony Abbott, and in the end he was right.
I can see why most of the Abbott tragics on this forum dislike Windsor....

I think Tony Windsor is one of the few true gentlemen of the parliament and I was thoroughly impressed by the way he conducted himself when he was in federal politics.

He is conservative but one who is concerned about future generations of Australians as evidenced by his support for action on climate change and Gonski initiatives.

The obscene degree to which Hasbeen and Shadowminister thought the sun shone from Abbott's proverbial gives eloquent testimony to their ability or lack there of to pass judgement on Windsor.

I wish the former member for New England every success. To me he epitomises many Australian values that Joyce either sorely lacks or is prepared to forego to further his lobby group.
